“There is not a man or a woman in the entire world who doesn’t enjoy a good beverage.”
I don’t really remember when I had my first mocktail, but it would sure have been in my teens. The OG mocktail is of course lemonade which we all have been brought up on but through the years I have had some fantastic ones along the way. Chili Guava is one such charming cooler that I almost always gravitate towards when I see it on a menu. It is refreshing yet spicy at the same time. And such lip-smacking tantalizing sensation in every sip! So, I had to make this one at home to beat the heat and even keep me a warm company during the winters. Definitely a great pairing with your dinner.
